One: Marriage 6: Descending the Mountain
Fifth, Mu Lin put his things away and put a towel on his shoulders to prevent the dripping water on his head from slipping down his body and wetting his pants. Then he approached the stove and sat down across from Chuanmi.
Chuan Mi looked at the Fifth Wood Forest, his face flushed slightly, and then smiled, "Okay, let's talk." ”
Fifth Mu Lin added hot water to the two cups, handed one to Chuan Mi, picked it up and blew two sips of hot air, drank a few sips, and then asked, "Since you already know some things about Chen Zhihe, then you must have heard a little about our family's affairs?" ”
Chuan Mi warmed his hands with a cup filled with hot water and nodded.
Fifth Mulin continued, "Our ancestors were the royal family of the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and our lineage possessed the ability to manipulate others in the spirit world. Even King Qi, the apex of the magnates at that time, was also a favor to us. ”
Chuan Mi couldn't help nodding, signaling that he understood, and he was also listening.
Fifth Mu Lin continued, "I think you also know that Tian Qi's forces were split into eight families and scattered all over the country after Liu Bang ruled the world. ”
"Hmm."
These eight families have become eight surnames, which have gradually continued to this day. We are the fifth family, and from this the fifth is the surname. And the ability of our ancestors has been passed down to this day, and only a few people will still have a little bit of skin. ”
Chuan Mi hurriedly said, "You're one of those people who can do this, right?" ”
Fifth Mulin smiled awkwardly, "Will you be capable?" Hehe...... It's just a little scratch of the surface. ”
Chuan Mi took this opportunity to lead the conversation to Chen Zhihe, because she urgently needed to know about that night 10 years ago. Not only can it be the material for your own excellent novel, but the most important thing is to figure out what the red mark on your neck is.
"So you used this ability to help Chen Zhihe 10 years ago?"
"Hmm."
"How did you help him? Like you did in my dreams before? But why is he crazy? ”
Fifth Mulin pondered for a long time and replied, "I don't know either. But after investigating, I can be sure that it is a clan with similar abilities to me who is doing the trouble. But I don't know what his purpose is. ”
"Investigation? Could it be that you dropped out of school to investigate the matter? ”
"Our ability is similar to divination, fortune-telling, and feng shui. To be most effective, it is necessary to be clear about the situation of the parties. That night, I asked Chen Zhihe about some information, and everything went smoothly throughout the night. But a few weeks later, something like this happened to him, and I knew about him, and I guessed that someone must have been doing something about it. So I went to Chen Zhihe's hometown and learned more about him, and I stayed in his hometown for two years. ”
"Two years?"
"yes...... So I moved here and began to train my ancestors' abilities and prepare decoctions. This will give me a chance to find out who is a master of the same race. ”
Chuan Mi asked a question, "Why did you choose to be in Wuqing Mountain?" ”
Fifth Mulin said with a smile, "The reason why this is the birthplace of Taoism is not for nothing. As early as the Shang Dynasty, there was a spirit of finding the Tao here. During the pre-Qin period, it had become a famous Taoist holy place. Because in ancient times, in addition to the gossip and the Book of Changes, Taoist priests also had the ability to alchemy. In fact, alchemy is all deceptive, and the main thing is to practice medicine. Wuqing Mountain is rich in several herbs, although it is not the only place of origin, but these plants here are the most complete and the most prosperous, and the miraculous decoction of my ancestors just needs these herbs. ”
Chuan Mi nodded vigorously, "I see." ”
Chuan Mi suddenly realized again, "I came here to find you, someone deliberately guided me, so to speak, this person knows your current situation, then you are also done, you can go out of the mountain?" ”
Fifth Mu Lin said, "Actually, the ability on my body is just the surface of the ancestor's ability, and I just deepen the only thing I know here." This ability can't be used as you like, and it must be combined with soul dream medicine to temporarily stabilize. ”
Chuan Mi asked again, "Then since it is your clan, could it be the people of the other seven families?" ”
Fifth Mulin shook his head and said, "No." Those who understand this ability and can use it must be the Fifth Family. ”
"Does that mean this person is also the fifth? Do you want to call the police? Check this person? ”
"It's useless. Now there are tens of thousands of people with the fifth surname, and not counting those abroad. In addition, there are many people in the family who change their names and surnames...... Work. The best way is to find him out in this primitive way. ”
Chuan Mi knew that the person he was looking for was very important, he was the one who could solve the paw prints on his body, so he said anxiously, "How to find it?" ”
The fifth wooden forest said, "The bell must be tied to the bell...... Since it happened to Chen Zhihe, let's start with him. ”
Chuan Mi said excitedly, "So you're going down the mountain?" ”
The fifth wood forest added some firewood to the stove at this time, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and whispered, "Almost...... It's been 10 years, and I thought that this matter would not be resolved, but I didn't expect this person to let go of himself. ”
Chuan Mi said solemnly, "Actually, you are too irresponsible. If it's already ready to be dispatched, why are you still here? How can you be worthy of Chen Zhihe? He's been a psychotic for ten years."
Fifth Mulin smiled, "Yes...... It feels like escaping...... Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative. ”
"Hmm...... That's right, so let's go now. ”
Fifth Mulin pointed out the window, "It's still raining heavily...... Wait for the rain to stop before walking, otherwise it is easy to slip and get injured on the wet mountain road. I'm going to have a few things to prepare, and I'll go when I'm ready. It's okay to go to bed early, and you have to rest well these days, especially if you have a cold and fever. ”
Chuan Mi was very satisfied, "Hmm~"
The fifth wood forest rummaged around the room, took out all the herbs, and found a bucket like a small boat, with a round grinding knife on it, and a hand on each side of the circle. Chuan Mi was surprised to see it, what age is it, and there are still people who use this kind of ancient things.
The fifth wood forest took out another glass bottle and put it aside, then put the herbs in the bucket one by one, and used a grinding knife to cut them into small pieces, and then cut them into small pieces, and then crushed them back and forth to make powder. Chuan Mi looked at him like this, and gradually became sleepy, after all, he had just subsided his fever, and his body was still a little weak, and he needed to rest more.
After 3 days...... The two of them packed their bags and headed down the mountain. The fifth Mulin carried a large travel backpack, with few clothes in it, but the other equipment was very well prepared. This trip down the mountain was a tough and protracted battle.
…………
After tossing and turning for a whole day, I finally got on the last train back to Bushi in the evening.
It was late, so they found a small hotel near the hospital and opened a room. In the room, the Fifth Wood spread out all the equipment.
"Get a good night's rest," he said. We will start acting tomorrow, but before we act, you have to tell me in detail about Chen Zhihe's current environment and situation. ”
Chuan Mi told the Fifth Wood Forest all the Chen Zhihe he had seen, including his environment, condition, and mental condition. Especially what kind of reaction will he have when he hears some sensitive words.
The fifth wood forest listened very carefully, and his hands did not stop. Soon he made two soul dream pills and said, "Okay, let's have a good rest tonight." I'll get up early tomorrow morning, and I'll lay out the plan. ”
Early the next morning, Chuan Mi and the Fifth Wood Forest got up very early. After a night of thinking, the fifth Mulin informed Chuan Mi of the plan one by one and asked her to keep it in mind.
It was almost noon, and Chuan Mi came to the psychiatric hospital again with a small bag on his back. I came here not long ago, and I was familiar with the road, and after registering the information at the door, Chuan Mi quickly found Chen Zhihe's ward.
The last time I saw Chen Zhihe was during the activity time, so there were many patients, and compared with other patients, Chen Zhihe's image made Chuan Mi very impressed. And Chen Zhihe actually lives in a single ward, and his family may have a good economic condition. Chuan Mi entered the ward and greeted Chen Zhihe, but Chen Zhihe stared at Chuan Mi stupidly.
But he opened his mouth and shouted, "Sister-in-law." ”
Sister-in-law? What the heck? Neuropathy really knows how to play tricks.
Chuan Mi didn't care so much, according to the plan, she moved the chair next to the wall. The chair folds quickly, and she spreads it out like a small single bed. Then Chuan Mi put the bag on it and took out a thermos cup from inside. Then open the thermos cup and take out a glass bottle with a half beaker and half test tube. It contained a blue-green liquid, which was a dream elixir, and it was still steaming because of the thermos cup.
Chuan Mi looked at the time, and it was 12 o'clock in a few minutes.
Chen Zhihe walked over and saw this blue-green liquid, and said with a smile, "Hehe? Sister-in-law, what is this? ”
Chuan Mi smiled, "This is a good thing, come, this is specially brought for you, come and drink." ”
Chen Zhihe hurried over and prepared to drink it, but when he smelled it, it was actually the taste of Chinese herbal medicine. He immediately dodged it, "bitter...... Don't drink ......"
Chuan Mi was afraid that the time would pass, and he was even more afraid that this thing would be cold, so he hurriedly said, "Good ...... I'll give you candy to eat after drinking. ”
Chen Zhihe said happily, "Do you have candy to eat?" ”
"Hmm...... Come on, drink it all in one go, and I'll give you sugar right away. ”
Chen Zhihe snatched the glass and drank it in one gulp, but the taste was really a little pungent, Chen Zhihe stopped halfway through drinking, "It's so bitter...... I don't want to drink anymore. ”
Chuan Mi continued to persuade, "Obedient, good...... If you drink it, you will have candy to eat, and there will be a little more, come on. ”
Chen Zhihe said with a bitter face, "This is really too bitter...... Give me the candy first, or I won't drink it." As he spoke, he stuffed the cup into Chuan Mi's hand.
Chuan Mi had no choice but to take out the candy and give it to him, time was running out, and he had to hurry up and let him drink the medicine before 12 o'clock.
Chen Zhihe opened the candy wrapper, threw the sugar in his mouth, and was happy when he ate something sweet.
Chuan Mi said, "Come, hurry up and drink this." ”
Chen Zhihe turned his head and said, "No." That one was so bitter that I still eat sugar. ”
Chuan Mi began to be a little anxious, and if he didn't hurry up, he would miss the appointed time.
